The massive form of the servant flies through the air, in one bound, the thing called Berserker crosses the dozens of meters from the top of the hill!

"Shirou, stay back...!" Skipping back, Naruto halted in his assault, in the moonlight... 'Bullets' rain down on the descending giant like shooting stars...!

With extreme accuracy, and pinpoint aim, the silver lights, that were shooting through the giant were indeed "arrows".

No, the word "arrow" is an understatement.

It's like a barrage from a machine gun, and each shot easily piercing through the cobblestone ground.

Eight shots of that.

It should be able to mow down houses, but...

"No way! It's not doing anything!?" Shirou gapped at the sight before him, the monster that towered over the group looked unamused and unaffected.

It has no effect on the giant.

Two swords clashed!

The giant sword of Berserker, who came down through a rain of 'arrows'...

And the sword of Naruto, who ran to his landing spot.

The two blades sparked on contact, a shock-wave as the result flattened the earth three feet down.

"Adolebitque!" In a flurry of blade slashes, Naruto matched the monster of a servant in pure strength; his strikes creating creators with each clash. "Saber, assist me!" Kicking the ground with a heavy stomp, a large cloud of rock covering Berserker's vision, allowing the female knight to join the fight, her blade ready to slice the large giant.

Three swords clashed in a battle of strength, even though she is overpowered by Berserker's attack, Saber does not yield; adding Naruto's powers to her to equal out the massive blade strike.

Silver lights ran through the darkness, Saber used her smaller figure to make up for her weakness; blocking, parring, and faced the assault of that giant sword head-on.

"How much magical energy does she have?" Standing on the side-line, Shirou couldn't help but awe at the fighting style of Saber, the way she battled the stronger servant was incredible; and adding Naruto to that allowed the two to fight on equal terms with the large beast.

"Even though Saber is obviously weaker, she is proving to be a match against Berserker." Rin remarked as she glared at the fight, her mind going racing on the what she could do to help. "And Naruto, to use the Pendragon full magic armour so effectively is a feat far beyond what I thought anyone could accomplish."

"What do you mean?" Shirou, who hadn't taken his eyes off the battle, flickered his gaze towards Rin. "Is the armour he is using hard to make?" To him, the blonde was simply making a coat of mana around him.

"Are you serious?!" Snapping her gaze towards towards the 'mage' besides her, Rin gapped at the teen. "The Pendragon armour magic is the peak of mana manipulation, so much so that even the strongest of the Pendragon house can't make more than one piece of armour at a time; so for Naruto to make a whole set of it and hold it is incredible!"

"Flammae!"

A wave of fire interrupted the two, it's flames licking the trees and grass around them, the form of Naruto came shooting through it; his armoured form sliding across the ground. "That Berserker is a monster!" The blonde growled out as he stood to his feet, his long blade covered in a bright blue flames. "Not even my flammae can keep him down for long."

Leaning down, the blonde mage opened up just in time to catch Saber, who came flying through the smoke like Naruto had done so moments ago.

"Refero" A massive shield of blue mana appeared just as Berserker came barrelling into the opening, stopping the monster in it's tracks just as a three purple arrows lodged into the giant before violently exploding.

"Now Saber!" Dropping the shield, Naruto rushed forwards with his blazing sword, Saber just behind him, before slashing upwards. "Adolebitque!" A burst of fire expended from the blades tip, forcing the giant to flip backwards into the path Saber's covered sword.

In a show of incredible dexterity, the monster of a man span his body in mid-air and met the invisible blade with a powerful slash, grinding the blades together in a show of matched power. "libero!" With a flash of white, the blonde mage rushed forwards to Berserker's back and slashed upwards, a wave of mana cutting deep into the servants back.

"!" In a roar of fury, Berserker span around, knocking Saber away, before unleashed a monstrous blow against the unprepared Mage behind him; hammering his sword down against the armour in which he laid.

"Crap!" Weaving side to side, Naruto dodged the way out of the mighty blows, the side of armour he had been hit on slowly regenerating it's crushed metal. "Refero!" Using his mana as a shield, the blonde skipped back several feet, he needed to gain an advantage, and simply battling at 100% wouldn't do. "I really hoped I could train with this more but," Holding his free hand out, Naruto let out a heavy breath as he formed a spinning sphere of mana into his palm, a large gust of wind started to spin around him

"N-naruto." Stumbling to her feet, Arturia gapped in gently in surprise, the person before her looked exactly like her old Naruto, his blue eyes gleaming with confidence as he formed a sphere in one hand and held his sword in the other. "Amazing..." Letting out a breathless gasp, Saber took a step back when she felt the build of mana, and by the sudden increase of attacks the giant let out, Berserker also felt it.

"I may not be as strong as I like," the blonde remarked with a growl, the sphere he wielded becoming more and more condensed, so much so that it began to shake and vibrate. "But I'm strong enough to show you what the hell I'm made OF!"

Breaking off his shield, the blonde ran forwards, dropping down below a slash at the very last second. "RASENGAN!" A large boom echoed through-out the field as the ball of mana smashed into the stomach of the Berserker, blowing it open the guys chest open. "I got you punk." Falling to his knees, Naruto let out the breath he didn't know he was holding, his sword dragging on the ground along side him.

"Naruto!" Turning his gaze to the side, the blonde smiled when he saw Saber running towards him, a look of worry of her face. "Get out of there!" Blinking in surprise, Naruto had barely enough time to turn around before he was jackhammered to the side, his armoured left side crumbling away as he skid across the ground.

"H-he survived that." Coughing up a wad of blood, the mage dragged himself up, his left eye closed thanks to the blood leaked from a wound on his forehead. "D-damn IT!" Stumbling to one side, the teen glared up, he wasn't going to let this piece of shit kill him; not today, not ever! "If I'm going down, you coming with me, you bloody freak!" Condensing his magic in a way he had never thought wise, the blonde cast a doom around him, channelling it in a way that his body would become a canon. "DIE!"

"CORPUS," Time seemingly froze as the air around Naruto froze, everything coming to a halt as the doom became a beam. IURIS CANOINCI" Without a seconds thought, the mage poured everything he had into his final attack, he wasn't going to let his love-ones suffer because of his own weakness!

"Berserker, dodge it!" Illyasviel, who had been silent for the most part, shouted in worry, the attack Naruto had released was far beyond anything she had felt; and she doubted her servant could get back up from it!

"No you don't!" Saber, who had been battling Berserker with all her might to keep him from killing Naruto, shouted in rage as she released her own power, a golden light forming from the base of her sword. "Excalibur!" With the force equal to a supernova, the little servant blew off the servant's leg and arm in one swipe, jumping back just in time for the beam to come in on the downed giant.

"ROARRR!" Before the best could fully react, the beam completely shadowed his form, the very particles making up his body ripped themselves apart from the sheer shower of power.

"We got him," Falling down face first, Naruto allowed unconsciousness face him, that final blow had taken all that was him and used it, leaving him so low on mana that he doubted he could move for the next month. "Ha, shows you what." In a last whisper, the teen allowed his exhaustion to take him, he sword never leaving him hand.

Illyasviel frowned as she watched the form of her protector completely dissipate, the only thing her mind being focused on was the faded red mark on her palm. "Let's go, Berserker." Turning around, the petite teen walked away, the hulking form of berserker stepped from the shadow of the trees, it would seem that two of his seven lives was taken, she had to be more careful from now on.

"When do you think he'll wake?" A muffled sound reached his ears, sounding to off for him to recognize, the only thing he could recognize was the worry laced with it.

"It's been three days since his fight, I doubt he'll come too soon." Another voice, a male one, remarked to the right, having a light tone to it.

"Man, this brat sure has done alot in his life, but this was just pure stupid." A deeper voice, much deeper than the second one, spoke from above, as if someone was standing right behind someone.

"Maybe if we undress him, the cold might wake him up." Another female voice, this time much higher in volume and tone than the previous one, spoke from infront, making the downed person eyes snap open, blue eyes scanning the room in wonder.

"Oh, look who choose to wake up." Chuckling, the first female voice spoke again, gaining the attention of the blue eyed teen, forcing them too lock eyes.

"Who are you?" The female said as she knelled down beisde the teen; she was the most beautiful woman he had seen, a slender, but feminine build, fair skin, violet eyes, and bright red hair; a loving smile on her face.

"Oh, he must of hit his head harder than I though," Snapping his gaze to the right, the teen caught sight of a man with white long hair, and a large scroll on his back. "Come on brat, don't say you forgot you lord and savour, Jiraiya-saGAH!" Before the white haired man could continue, the red-head women somehow summoned a frying pan! out of nowhere and slammed the man to the floor with one blow.

"Don't listen to him, Naruto-kun, he's just an idiot." The red-head remarked as she made the frying-pan disappear. "I'm Kushina, your mother, the man on the floor Jiraiya, your teacher and mentor, the person to your left is Minato, your father, and the final female in the room is your daughter, Mordred."

"That's right, big daddy." Mordred remarked, a leaching smirk on her face as she wrapped her arms around Naruto's shoulder, her green eyes sparkling in playfulness. "How about we play father daughter, it's been so long since we've done soooo." Breathing onto the teen's neck, the blonde couldn't stop the teasing smile on her face from appearing.

"That's enough Mordred," Stepping from the teen's side, Minato pulled his granddaughter of his son; this girl just sent the wrong vibes up his spin, especially when she acted like that to her father. "Now then, as it stands, we have some things to talk about, don't you think so, son."

Standing to his feet, Naruto frowned gently as he glanced between Kushina and Minato; his mind picking the pieces that he had similarity with the two. "I don't understand?"

"Let me explain then," A light white glow appeared behind Naruto, a deep voice similar his own made the blonde spin around in shock. "Hello there, doppelgänger." Standing before Naruto was a male with the exact same features as he, the only difference was that he had glowing blue eyes and was taller. "As you can see, I am you, and you are I." Speaking in a refined and elegant tone, the taller blonde smirked as he stepped forwards, his sheer presence waking up Jiraiya.

"You're me?" Measuring up the man, Naruto frowned as he locked eyes with the man. "How?"

"I am you, your locked powers as you may, hidden to you by the grail when it brought you here." Waving his hand, the older Naruto brought though a hall of memories that quickly leaked into the teen; causing him to scream in pain. "Don't fight it Naruto, you need to know who you are, and what's your goals!" Shouting out, the teen forced his reincarnation to take in his memory and powers; the teen needed them if he was going to survive what was going to happen.

"I-I, dang it!" the younger Naruto growled out in anger, the power going into him was far to much for him to take. "It burns so damn MUCH."

Sighing, the older mage stepped forwards and laid his hand onto the teen's shoulder, his form slowly dispersing into his copy-cat. "Listen to me carefully, Naruto, alot of my powers are bound to your person, so be careful with using them." The man remarked as he was fully adsorbed by the fighter, his excess power forcing the body of the younger teen too adapt and grow, to accompany it.

"Naruto?" Kushina, who was watching the scene in worry, placed a hand on her son's shoulder, a large amount of worry running through her. "Are you okay?" Before the mother got her answer, Naruto's eyes rolled back into his skull before he fainted, much to the further worry of the mother.

"He's fine, my dad has been through worse." In a strange sense of calmness, Mordred stepped forwards and laid a hand onto Naruto's right palm, a smirk on her face. "Oh, an unused command seal set!" Filtering her own mana into the mark, the girl felt a pull, a small one at that. "Oh, connected to mother even in death." Pulling out a necklace, the teen pushed mana through the object and Naruto's command seals, a hopeful outcome in mind.

"This is going to be so fun!"

Inside of the Emiya's residence, Saber and Shirou sat within the dojo, since the fight against Berserker, the two trained together in swords play, with Saber using the time to drag her attention away from Naruto's sleeping form.

"You're improving Shirou," Saber remarked as she stood up from knelling, she was ready to go back to her husband; an sick filling welling up in her stomach. "Might we call for a break, I long to check on Naruto."

"S-sure." Panting heavily, the young mage sat himself up; his mind also on the idea of checking on the blonde. "Come on, we can check now."

Just as the two went to leave the dojo, an explosion of mana poured into the yard, enough to cause the two too freeze in their tracks.

"Wasn't that from Naruto's room?" Shirou remarked in worry, glancing towards Saber to check if she was okay, only to find the girl dressed in her full armour, with her blade ready. "Let's go!" With speed he didn't know he possessed, Emiya matched Saber's speed as they ran into the house and towards the only guest room in the house.

"Naruto!" With a heavy tug, Saber ripped out the door from the door frame, her eyes looking around the room to spot her husband. However, upon finding his body, the knight also found a very unwelcoming sight, for seated smugly in his lap was none other than her daughter Mordred, a leaching smile on her face. "You, what are you doing here?!"

Leaning herself to the side, the smaller blonde female didn't let go of her smile as she ran a hand over her new master's face, her un-armoured fingers tracing his face. "Oh, is that all I get from you, mother-dearest?" Snapping her gaze back, the new servant summoned her blade just in time to block a strike aimed for her neck. "Tut tut, Miss King, I wouldn't want us to hurt dear old father in this fight, would you?"

Growling, Saber stepped back, a harsh glare on her face as she kept her gaze on the smaller Pendragon. "Why are you here?!" Seething out her worlds in a very un-like knight fashion, Arturia stomped her foot down on the floor, flexing as much mana as she could without harming Naruto or Shirou.

"Oh, isn't it simply?" Gently reaching down and holding up Naruto's right hand, Mordred applied some mana, forcing a upside down version of Shirou's commands seals to appear, shocking Arturia enough to force her to take a step back. "Oh, you get it now? Dear papa dearest is now my master, bound to me, and only me!"

"O-ouch." A soft whisper left the body in Mordred's arms, Naruto softly stirred before snapping up suddenly, his blue eyes moving around frantically. "Hey, who are you?!" Pulling himself from Mordred's arms, the blonde mage flipped to his feet, only to stumble forwards when he touched down; his body was alot more heavier than he remembered. "Did you guys shrink since I last saw you?" Standing at an impressive feet of 6 foot 5, a whole eight inches taller than before, the blonde's height forced the teen to look down further than he would usually; his neck feeling the strain more than ever. "God damn, you guys need to grow or something, my neck is starting to ache."

"Naruto?" Looking upwards, Arturia's mouth grew wide, before the blonde looked like a reincarnation of the man she loved... one with only slight differences, like his age, height, and tone of voice, however the difference that was once there were no longer, instead standing before her was her Naruto.

"Oh, Arturia, good to see you." The blonde remarked nonchalantly, a large grin on his face as he stepped forwards, getting the immediate attention of the room. "Sorry for leaving you in that last fight, I barely able to stand after that final attack."

Watching the man before her, the King could only come to the conclusion that this Naruto wasn't her husband, no he was more like a combination of all the Narutos she new; caring and cheery like when they first meet, tall and strong like when they were married, and carefree and light-hearted like the one she had been summoned by.

This was all of Naruto, his true self.

And she loved him just that tiny bit more for it.

Shirou, seeing the odd change in Naruto, frowned in confusion as he observed the now tall blonde, his mind wondering on what the hell had happened in the past three days that caused the massive increase in both body mass and mana reserves; even he could sense the extent of his power.

"Are we done with all this sappy nonsense," A rather rude remark came from the corner of the room, Mordred did not like the fact that Naruto was being so chummy with Arturia, she wanted that attention for herself. "Because if you ask me, the real thing we should be talking about is how long will our truce last, before the grail forces us to fight." A large smirk, sugar sweet in nature, spouted on the new servants face; her eyes closed to hide the battle hungry feelings she held within her soul.

"The war is simplistic in nature," Naruto stated as he turned towards his daughter, a smile on his face when memories not his own surfaced. "As long as we fight, it stays, but I'm sure there is a way around this." The blonde remarked as he looked down at his command seals, ideas ravishing his mind. "Maybe we can use our command seals in some way of forcing the war to end."

"Maybe, maybe not." Mordred's tone was bleak as a black flower, her green eyes shifted lazily from the side towards Naruto as she leaned against the wall. "But than again, you were never the one to use something so simple to achieve your goals, unlike some I know." Locking her gaze with her mother, the blonde let her comment settle on the group as she got up from her seat and strode forwards. "If you ask me, we should just execute the other masters."

"We would, if it wasn't for the fact that we're already teamed with one other mage." Shirou pipped up as he stepped forwards, his eyes shifting to and from the crazy women infront of him.

"Maybe you are, but I'm not." Mordred glared at the man before him, he who dared to talk down on her. "The only reason you're even alive in my presence is because of daddy-o-blondie over there, and that's just barely."

"Do not threaten him, Mordred." Arturia responded as she stepped forwards, she was not going to let her daughter act in such a manner, it was disgraceful to her and Naruto. "Need I remind you that you're under oath to serve your master, or are you really going to disobey Naruto again?"

"I would never do anything against him!" Mordred seethed as she raised her blade, she was done being insulted by this blonde haired bimbo. "Atleast I stood by his side in his moment of need, whilst you ran away and was captured!" The green eyed girl snarled out, marching up to the taller sword user and getting into her face.

"Atleast I have my honour!"

"That's enough!" In a shout, similar to a father telling off his spouse, Naruto separated the two growling blondes, the last thing he wanted was a fight just after somehow growing in height, he still didn't how to actually move this body properly. "Look, Mordred, we're not going to go hunting the other Masters; my previous fight with Berserker was enough to show me that I have to get stronger before any more combat." A huff was the only reply he got, it would seem he had proven his point on that. "And Arturia, we both know that with Mordred as my stead, I'll barely be able to power you as much as I have been; I don't have enough mana to fight and power two servants."

"I... understand, dear." Saber said with a small frown, she realised it was selfish to want all of Naruto to herself, especially now that he had summoned someone. "However, I do have a question about one thing; how were you able to summon her, I am pretty certain that I was the seventh summoning."

"I can answer that for you," Stepping in the light, Mordred pulled out a single golden heart shaped necklace, one that Arturia instantly recognized. "Old pop's still had some tricks up his sleeves, he gave me this just before he went to rescue you, said that if I would ever be of need of him, just push mana inside." A soft golden glow basked the group as Mordred powered up the item, accompanied with a low soft hum. "So, when I was called too Naruto when he was barely breathing, I used this to allow me to get to his location; it just so happened that being a spirit just made things alittle... different, shall we say."

"I see," The 'king' frowned gently as she reached out with her limited sensing ability, a sense of familiarity pinging back at her when she did so.

"Okay, now that's all done and sorted, I better be heading off, I really need to get some training in to get me back in tip-top shape." Naruto suddenly remarked, stretching his arms wide, patting Shirou's shoulder as he moved past the red-head. "Feel free to come round whenever you feel like it brother, I don't doubt that we'll be working together alot in this war." Without waiting on a reply, the tall mage left to get his objects, or atleast to where Shirou normally placed his belonging when he came round for the night. "And Arturia, don't be a stranger, feel free to come round whenever you feel like it."

Mordred, seeing her Master wonder down the hall of the home, allowed a dark frown to come alive on her face, her dark green eyes locked with the only other master in the house. "Listen to me well, Emiya Shirou, I know very well what type of person you are, and if you ever, and I mean ever, think of involving my dad in your stupid little dream, then let me tell you," In a burst of speed Shirou had never expected, Mordred moved into the Mage's guard, her blade a mere inch away from his neck. "I will kill you myself, not even the grail will be-able to stop me." In a last harsh whisper, the teen dropped her aura of death, a happy cheerful replacing it instantly, before she hopped out the room, almost glowing from the concept of spending alone time with her daddy.

"Mordred." Stopping dead in her path, the daughter slowly faced her mother, a dark frowned lingered on her younger face. "Just because Naruto is not your biological father, does not mean you can try and have him for your own sick twisted fantasy, just remember who the wife is around here."

A sharp snarl meet the king's face, obviously the younger of the two blonde not take a liking to the comments sent her way. "You may be the wife, Arturia, but to me, I will always be Naruto's future, just remember who came to him in his time of need, mother!" With a sharp tug, the slamming of the guest door; which had been somehow magically repaired, cut the conversation short, leaving a frowning King and her nervous master alone.

"I swear, I'm kind of glad she's on our side."

"For as long as it lasts Master, for as long as it lasts."
